As Supernatural gears up for its big 300th episode, The CW has announced that the long-running hit drama has been confirmed for season 15. Yes, Virginia, the Winchesters are going to live forever.
The news was announced at today’s bi-annual Television Critics Association press tour, along with the renewal of nine other shows, including The Flash, Arrow, and DC’s Legends Of Tomorrow.
“This season, we expanded our primetime schedule to six nights with the addition of Sunday — which has been an unqualified success for the network, our affiliates and our advertisers,” said CW president Mark Pedowitz. “In addition to growing our schedule across the week, we also continue to add more year-round programming. The early renewal of these signature CW series gives us a head start on laying out the 2019-2020 season, and this is just the beginning. These shows provide a strong foundation for our multiplatform programming strategy, and we look forward to building on this with even more returning and new shows as we approach the May upfront.”
Supernatural is the last remaining vestige of The WB network, which merged with UPN in 2006 to create The CW. At this rate, The WB will live on forever with the Winchesters. Currently, Supernatural season 14 is running on The CW.
We’ve yet to get updates on which cast members will be returning for season 15, or what the story might look like, but we’ll keep you updated with all of that when news breaks. For now, rejoice in this announcement, Supernatural fans!
